SCOTT'S 29th BIRTHDAY FEAST!

2008-05-04T18:04:00.000-07:00

On Saturday May, 7th Scott turns 29, so to help us celebrate all of our friends (some of which after running the mini marathon earlier that morning) went to the Brazilian Grill for the special occasion. For those of you that are not familiar with Brazilian food, they cook everything on very large skewers and bring them out to your table and cut the meats off right there in front of you. They will keep coming with all different kinds of meats, chicken, beef, lamb, sausage, and pork marinated in all different kinds of flavors, smoked etc....It's a meat lovers dream dinner. It took us 2 and a half hours to eat dinner that night and to make the occasion even better, our friends all chipped in and bought Scott and I a Wii for his birthday, my birthday and my graduation!

This is the before picture and I'm not sure what Scott is doing with his prongs here!

Friends of the Birthday Feast and warming up with the salad bar!

More friends of the feast and Scott opening the Wii!

The massive brownie we all had to help Scott eat, and of course the after picture. Note to self, this is what eating chicken, pork, beef, sausage and lamb will do to you!

The Master Graduated!!!!

2008-05-04T17:48:00.000-07:00

That's right I finally finished my Masters Degree.......so what if it took me 8 years to do it it's done!!!! On Friday, May 2, 2008 I officially walk in the Masters/Doctorate ceremony at the University of Indianapolis even though I finished the program back in December, I now have a Master of Arts degree from UIndy along with Bachelor of Music Education from Butler. Here's some of the pictures from the ceremony that Scott took.

Me looking like someone out of Harry Potter!

Finally 8 years later!!

Michael Buble What A Day!

2008-05-01T13:03:00.000-07:00

On Friday April 18th Scott got tickets for the Michael Buble concert at Consceo Fieldhouse (where the Pacers play). It was a Valentine's day gift which ended up as an even better gift!!!! Scott being an employee at Consceo Fieldhouse was given comp tickets to the event which was pretty close to being sold out. It ended up that the comp tickets he was given were much closer to the stage than the original tickets he bought, so close in fact Michael Buble was just 5 rows away from us at one point! We even sat right next to one of the assistant coaches for the Pacers too!!!!! All in all it was quite an evening, we had dinner with some former students from Franklin Central and Band moms and the concert was unbelievable, even Scott enjoyed it and the opening act Naturally 7 was amazing. Scott and I both suggest checking out their music, it's all based on "voice play" where each member of the group imitates an actual instrument, but they are so good at it that it's extremely hard to tell that they are creating the instrument sounds with their voices! Here's some of our footage from the evening!

Here's some of our favorite shots from the evening including the dinner shot of Scott and I! The guys in the white is the opening Act Naturally 7, and of course the others are of Michael Buble!

Naturally 7 and their Voice Play!

MORE HOLIDAY FUN!

2008-01-04T14:14:00.001-08:00

HOLIDAY FUN!!!

2008-01-04T13:50:00.000-08:00

It's that time of year again, Scott and I spent the past two weeks traveling to visit family in both Michigan and Illinois. It was good to see everyone again especially his 90 year old grandma who lives in a little tiny town called Fairview which looks like it was designed after a Norman Rockwell painting. All in all the holidays were excellent, Scott got me a new Payton Manning jersey the authentic repelica and of course jewelry!!!!! He always has very good taste! I some what surprised him with a Chicago Cubs Brick that will be placed in the newly renivated area in the outfield side walk behind the bleachers....Scott happened to be home when the confirmation envelope was delivered. But yes Christmas was excellent and it's always fun to see everyone again. Here's some of our favorites.

COLTS GAME!!!!

2007-12-06T18:28:00.000-08:00

Scott and I were fortunate enough to go to the Colts vs. Jacksonville game this past weekend in Indianapolis in the RCA dome. This was one of the last few home games the Colts will play in the RCA Dome with the new Luca Oil stadium opening up this August with DCI Finals. Colts home games are wild and crazy and extremely loud, other NFL teams accuse us of pumping crowd noise into the dome when it's really just loud and proud fans! GO COLTS!

FC DRUMLINE WITH KEITH URBAN!

2007-11-20T19:35:00.001-08:00

On Thursday, Nov. 8th the FC drumline performed during Keith Urban's sold out concert at Conseco Field House (where Scott works). I was not fortunate enough to get a ticket...I gave mine to our percussion staff since they were bigger Keith Urban fans than I, however we had many band parents an percussion staff who took pictures and cell phone video's so here's a little of the action from the concert. Enjoy!

SPECIAL "JACK" THE PUMPKIN

2007-10-27T19:05:00.000-07:00

Well Scott and I carved our first pumpkin together and it was quite an adventure. I didn't realize that pumpkin carving can be quite tedious especially when you don't have a pumpkin knife to carve with! We had to improvise with a Calphalon paring knife....I don't recommend this.....let's just say I was in charge of drawing the face for Jack and he started with more teeth that he actually received......the paring knife didn't cooperate with us so he lost a few in the carving process so he's now "SPECIAL JACK!"

CUBS LOOSE BUT COLTS WIN!

2007-10-23T13:54:00.001-07:00

Well what can we say, the Cubs lost again! We really had some sort of a glimpse of hope but then again as Scott always says "It's the Cubs" they tend to disappoint. Next year will mark the 100th anniversary since the last time the Cubs won a World Series. Oh well, until that day happens we'll keep cheering for them even though it may never happen again....at least in our life time!

On the other hand our Super Bowl Champ Indianapolis Colts are off to a great season, and Scott and I are going to the Jacksonville game on December 2nd, so more pictures will be posted later.

Scott and I are recuperating from a very long weekend with the Tennant and Sorge families. We played Holiday Inn for them as they spent a long weekend with us, it was quite entertaining with many stories to share most of which involved Ethan in the midst of his potty training.

CUBS ARE ON A ROLL!

2007-09-30T06:50:00.000-07:00

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, THE CHICAGO CUBBIES HAVE WON THEIR DIVISION! SCOTT IS IN HIS OWN WORLD RIGHT NOW BUT WE ARE NOT GETTING TOO EXCITED YET ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. BUT FOR NOW, WE ARE GOING TO AT LEAST ENJOY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF PICTURES SOON TO FOLLOW I PROMISE.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE FRANKLIN CENTRAL MARCHING FLASHES FINALLY GOT A NEW SEMI WITH A PIMPED UP PAINT JOB JUST TWO DAYS AGO. WE BY FAR HAVE THE BEST LOOKING SEMI IN THE STATE OF INDIANA.

Go Cubs Go !

2007-07-29T11:49:00.000-07:00

Ethan singing with Auntie Sarah and Uncle Scott Go Cubs Go, sooner or later he will be a Cubs fan and not a Tigers fan!

SUPER BOWL TROPHY!

2007-07-25T11:18:00.000-07:00

Scott and I were pretty lucky to actually touch the super bowl trophy when it came to Victory Field in Indianapolis. Hey at least the Colts won the super bowl, the Cubs well..............it's the Cubs.

Fun with pictures

2007-07-25T11:14:00.000-07:00

The Canoe Ride!

2007-07-25T11:08:00.000-07:00

This is the canoe ride picture we had taken and let me tell you if you ever get a chance to do this you definitely have to try it. No you won't get sea sick and it's pretty darn close to surfing. Scott and I were the lucky two to be placed in the front two seats of the canoe where all the action takes place, it's quite a trip!
